2012 MLB Season

The Tigers have always struggled against Millwood, so don't be surprised to see another 3 to 2 victory in the 9th inning.  This time when Valverde blows it.

The Tigers' loss last night was totally uncalled for.  What a ridiculous way to lose a game!!!!    Again with the no offense and the crappy bullpen.

Well 2001 had the 9/11 thing going on...so it just felt a little worse.
Don't get me wrong, not like AZ should've let em win (which I'd not want) and we lost fair and square, just felt so much worse.

Though I like to point to that WS as proof games are not fixed or the Yankees benefited as so many say. If there was ever time for a fairy tale it would've been then after all!

This all could be for naught. Mo says he's coming back and if anyone could, it's that nut.

Oh yes, I do hate you "out to see the Yanks lose" folk.
Sure, I always want the Sahx (as well as Cowboys) lose and IDC who does it, but I am above my own rules, clearly
We're fans, no need for logic.

Honestly the 2001 WS hurt more. Until recently I pretty much wanted the Diamondbacks to fry in the AZ desert.

Oh and that 2003 WS wasn't so bad but a loss is a loss.
Boy howdy I sure do recall a lot of WS

I must admit that I quite enjoyed it.

On October 19, 2004, Schilling won Game 6 of the 2004 American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees. Notably, he won this game playing on an injured ankle—the same injuries that contributed to his disastrous outing in Game 1 of the ALCS. These injuries were so acute that by the end of his performance that day his white sock was soaked with blood, which is now referred to as "the bloody sock". Following the game, Schilling took the famous sock and threw it away in the Yankee Stadium clubhouse. The win forced a Game 7, making the Red Sox the first team in MLB history to come back from a three-games-to-none deficit. The Red Sox would go on to win Game 7 and the ALCS and make their first World Series appearance since 1986. Schilling pitched (and won) Game 2 of the 2004 World Series for the Red Sox against the St. Louis Cardinals. In both series, he had to have the tendon in his right ankle stabilized repeatedly, in what has become known as the Schilling Tendon Procedure, after the tendon sheath was torn during his Game 1 ALDS appearance against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. As in Game 6 of the ALCS, Schilling's sock was soaked with blood from the sutures used in this medical procedure, but he still managed to pitch seven strong innings, giving up one run on four hits and striking out four. This second bloody sock was placed in the Baseball Hall of Fame after Boston's victory over St. Louis in the World Series. A four-game sweep of the World Series erased the Curse of the Bambino.

I may be wrong but wasn't that faked we found out?

Yeah Scott it's gunna suck having to actually ordeal through saves...but like I said Mo has declined a bit. He's human now. Not like a few years back when you could nap through it be assured of a save.
All seriousness what can ya do?
